I guess it is possible something could have come loose in transit.
Does the coil require some odd voltage? Is this the reason for the resistor?
All I know is it won't produce a spark, regardless of the configuration. Pretty frustrating. Sometimes it just best to walk away from it for awhile. Let it sit.
Read post #6. I don't know how I can be any clearer. NO RESISTOR. You are wiring it wrong!!!!!!!!
